Suppliers

A supplier is anyone you buy from on credit. Every purchase, purchase return and supplier payment is linked to one supplier, and the supplier page shows the running balance you owe.

The Suppliers list with search and balances
  1. Open Purchasing → Suppliers and select Add Supplier.
  2. Enter the name (required), and optionally email, phone and address.
  3. Add the supplier’s tax registration number so it prints on debit notes and is available for tax reports (India: the supplier’s GSTIN).
  4. Add bank name and bank account to keep payment details at hand, and payment terms (days) so new purchases get the right due date.
  5. Select Save.

A supplier page with balance, purchases, payments and activity
  • Balance — what you currently owe this supplier.
  • Purchases — every bill and debit note with status and balance due.
  • Payments — every supplier payment and what it was applied to.
  • Activity — the timeline.
  • Opening Balance — record what you owed before using OneBooks; see Opening balances.
  • Unapplied credit — shown when a standalone payment or a debit note has value not yet applied to a bill.
